Abstract: The identification and evaluation of tourism resources are important basis for tourism planning and development in abandoned mining areas. This paper adopts literature review method and inductive analysis method to comprehensively sort out the domestic and foreign research results on the value evaluation of tourism resources in abandoned mining areas, and systematically analyze the identification, evaluation system construction and evaluation methods of tourism resources in abandoned mining areas. It is found that the current understanding of tourism resources in abandoned mining areas is only at the level of mining relics and mining heritage, lacking emphasis on the natural resources such as weather and climate, and cultural resources of mining areas. The evaluation of tourism resources is still resource-oriented, and there is a lack of sufficient attention to the evaluation indexes reflecting the special characteristics of abandoned mining resources. In the future, in the evaluation of tourism resource value of abandoned mining areas, the comprehensive identification of tourism resources should be strengthened, the evaluation indexes of ecological sustainability, safety and stakeholder relationship be increased, a demand-oriented, step-by-step tourism resources value evaluation system be constructed, and at the same time, the evaluation methods to improve the objectivity and scientificity of evaluation results should be innovated.
